With a total of 11 games on Friday’s NBA schedule, there is no shortage of betting opportunities to take advantage of. Accordingly, I have scoured the odds to find the best NBA player props for Friday, December 2nd.
We’ve seen plenty of impressive individual performances in the NBA of late, with big-name players stepping up throughout the league. You probably won’t be surprised to learn that Jayson Tatum features among my NBA props for Friday.
Jayson Tatum – Over 32.5 Points (+112)
Heat vs. Celtics Predictions
Jayson Tatum made NBA history on Wednesday. The Boston Celtics superstar racked up 49 points with 11 rebounds and also went 8-for-12 from downtown, meaning he is the first player to notch 45+ points, 10+ rebounds and 8+ 3-pointers on two separate occasions.
The 24-year-old has been on fire recently, registering 30+ points in each of his previous four appearances. The Celtics should extend their winning streak to six games when they face the Miami Heat on Friday and Tatum should dish up over 32.5 points.
OG Anunoby – Over 2.5 Steals (-126)
No player in the NBA has recorded more steals than OG Anunoby this season. Having accumulated 48 steals across 21 outings, the Toronto Raptors hotshot averages 2.3 steals per games in 2022-23.
The Raptors find themselves one place above the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference, making Friday’s clash vitally important. Consequently, I expect Anunoby to step up and chip in with over 2.5 steals.
Brook Lopez – Over 2.5 Blocks (-180)
While Anunoby sits atop the steals leaderboard, Brook Lopez leads the league for blocks. The 34-year- old has been immense for the Milwaukee Bucks this season, averaging 2.9 blocks per game to keep his team second in the East.
The Bucks head into Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers on a three-game winning streak. When you look at the bigger picture, they have won five of their past seven encounters. Don’t be surprised if Lopez racks up over 2.5 blocks on Friday.
Stephen Curry – Over 29.5 Points (-115)
Bulls vs. Warriors Predictions
We all know that Stephen Curry is one of the greatest players in NBA history. The legendary point guard has been scoring points for fun this season and finds himself 22 clear at the summit of the 3-pointer leaderboard.
Last weekend, Curry recorded 33 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves before scoring 32 against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. With the struggling Chicago Bulls up next for Curry and the Warriors, the 34-year-old will be confident of recording over 29.5 points.
Darius Garland – Over 10.5 Assists (-110)
Magic vs. Cavaliers Predictions
Thanks to a run of six victories in eight games, the Cleveland Cavaliers sit third in the Eastern Conference. With 14 wins from 22 outings this season, the Ohioans find themselves in a seriously strong position.
Darius Garland has been pivotal to the Cavs’ success throughout 2022-23, chipping in with points and assists on a consistent basis. Having claimed 29 assists across the previous three games, Garland looks destined to enjoy even more success on Friday.
